Inteco EDV AG

What Inteco EDV AG does

Inteco AG (legal entity Inteco EDV AG) is a privately held Swiss IT services company headquartered in Pfäffikon ZH, founded in 1978 with roots in the Swiss wine trade. The company operates two complementary business lines: WEGAS, an industry-specialized ERP system developed since 1987 for wine merchants, beverage producers, distilleries, breweries, and delicatessen businesses, and Intecotech, a general-purpose IT full-service offering for Swiss small and medium enterprises covering consulting, infrastructure, cloud, security, virtualization, firewall/VPN, VoIP, hardware rental, and 24/7 support.

WEGAS is a proprietary Java-based ERP platform with MariaDB database and Eclipse-Widget Toolkit frontend, covering the full value chain including order management, invoicing, inventory, accounting, CRM, POS systems, and specialized Swiss-market features such as Gebindeabrechnung (container accounting for bottles, crates, and tanks) and Weinbuchhaltung (wine and alcohol accounting with tax compliance). The platform is integrated with an ecosystem of partners including Orderlion (AI-supported order capture), Digitaldrink (beverage EDI), Profinance, Hogashop, Docuvita, Brevo, and logistics providers (Planzer, Swiss Post). The company maintains its own data centers in Zürich and Lupfig for backup services.

Revenue is generated through annual and multi-year SLA contracts (Platin and Diamant tiers for extended and 24/7 support), WEGAS ERP licensing and support subscriptions, monthly IT rental packages, professional services for implementation (1-6 months), and CHF 300-incident emergency support. Customer acquisition is sales-led and relationship-driven with free initial consultations, targeting Swiss KMU and beverage trade verticals. The company serves over 100 customers across Switzerland including Getränke Hahn AG, Brauerei Seebueb, ETTER Söhne AG, SSI-Gruppe, Rio Getränkemarkt AG, Fischer Weine Sursee AG, and TRIENERGY Solutions AG. Ownership is held by co-founders Eric Wettstein (Co-CEO, Head Sales) and Georg Wolff (Co-CEO, CTO), with no external investors or parent company.
